-Possible compatibility problems with earlier versions marked with '*'.
+Added ZiNG Update Support. New codecs are defined in srw.h. Extended the
+GFS to support this as well. Backend handler, bend_srw_update, does the
+update work. Code contributed by Ko van der Sloot.
+
+Allow retrieval of Search Result-1 information in ZOOM by the
+use of options that are attached to a result set. ZOOM documentation
+updated accordingly.
+
+Fixed bug #416: First/second comb characters not handled in the
+MARC-8 to UTF-8 conversion. Patch by Raj Patel.
+
+Added option -m to GFS to control formatting of timestamps in log file.
+
+Added 'exit' as synonym for 'quit' in yaz-client
+
+Added support for specifying SRW resultSetId + resultSetIdleTime in a
+Generic Frontend Server's search handler. Refer to include/yaz/backend.h
+for the new members. Patch by Ko van der Sloot.
+
+Added support for SRU POST. It is supported for content-type
+application/x-www-form-urlencoded only. Patch by Ko van der Sloot.
+
+Do not build the separate Multi-threaded (MT) library libyazthread.la.
+Instead make the library libyaz.la multi-threaded. Threading as a whole
+can still be disabled by configure option --disable-threads. Previosly, 
+with older GLIBCs there were problems with MT libs under Apache. This
+has now been fixed a long time ago.
+
+Fixed bugs in yaz_log that occurred on Sparc Solaris in Multi-threaded
+applications.
+
+CQL module modified to be case insensitive for relations/indexes/operations.
+
+Fixed bug in CQL transform code: incorrect value relationModifieder
+was used.
+
+Added 'show all' command for yaz-client which retrieves all results
+for last search.
+
+Added new yaz-client, xmles, which takes a (private) OID and
+a document to be sent as an extended service request.
+
+Describe new yaz-client commands wait_response and set_auto_wait.
+
+Increase TCP/IP listener backlog from 3 (which I am guessing was
+copied from the SunOS manual entry way back when) so SOMAXCONN, so
+that the socket will queue as many incoming connections as it's able
+to handle ongoing connections.  In other words, it will never now
+refuse a connection that it would be able to handle merely because
+it's not got around to accepting() enough of the pending connections
+yet.  This is the behaviour anyway under Linux, where the listen()
+argument is ignored; but not under BSD and on systems such as
+MS-Windows that use BSD-derived TCP/IP stacks.  The behaviour of
+YAZ-based servers should now be uniform across operating systems in
+this respect.
+
+yaz-marcdump uses 64-bit file access on some systems. This is enabled 
+on Linux and other Unix variants where _FILE_OFSET_BITS=64 is supported.
+This allows yaz-marcdump to read large MARC batches (>2 GB).
+
+Modified all YAZ source files - except the source which is auto-generated
+by tools - to use spaces rather than TABS. Emacs/VIM trailer added to
+all source files.
+
+Add ZOOM_connection_option_getl() and ZOOM_options_getl(),
+corresponding to the existing *_setl() function.  These allow option
+values containing arbitrary valuues.
+
+Add ZOOM_resultset_sort1(), which should ALWAYS be used in place of
+ZOOM_resultset_sort() in new applications.  Its behaviour is identical
+except that it returns an indicator of whether or not the sort
+criterion was accepted (0 for OK, -1 for invalid).
+
+--- 2.1.8 2005/06/07 
+
+Fixed bug in yaz_marc_decode_buf. By mistake the routine appended
+MARC output rather than returning "new" buffer.
+
+yaz-client warns about unknown init options.
+
+Fixed bug #371: "options concurrentOperations ignores concurrentOperations"
